9.A.2.)
Recommendation of City Manager:
(1) Find the proposed moratorium to be exempt from environmental
review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(C)(2), because the moratorium
will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment; and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15262,
because the project involves only feasibility or planning studies for
possible future actions which the City has not approved, adopted, or
funded, and does not involve adoption of a plan that will have a legally
binding effect on later activities.
(2) Approve a development moratorium for a period of 45 days on all
building, mechanical, and electrical permits which involve new electrical
construction or electrical upgrades on all parcels within the B-7 electric
circuit area boundary defined in Attachment A of the agenda report (B-7
Area).
(3) Find that the proposed moratorium is consistent with the objectives
and policies of the General Plan.
(4) Find that (a) continued approval of new electrical construction and
electrical upgrades on all parcels in the B-7 Area under the existing
requirements would have adverse impacts on the public health, safety,
or welfare pursuant to the standards and policies set forth in the General
Plan, and (b) an interim ordinance establishing the proposed moratorium
is necessary to avoid these adverse impacts.
(5) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an urgency interim ordinance
implementing this recommendation.
